Java 1973
PNKA No. DD51 03, Madiun Works, 25th July 1973
Apart from the DD52 class of 2-8-8-0 Mallets, of which we had already been lucky enough to see No. DD52 03 working, there were two earlier series of big Mallets of class DD50 and DD51. The eight locos of DD50 were built by Alco in 1916 and the twelve of class DD51 by Alco in 1919. By this time, it seems all the DD50s had been scrapped but a few of the DD51s remained in various places in varying states of dereliction. This one, DD51 03, is in not too bad a state dumped within the confines of the works at Madiun. It is Alco Works No. 58725 of 1919. Wednesday 25th July 1973. Slide No. 11829A.
